I specialize in relationship and sex therapy.
I believe that my clients are the experts when it comes to their lives. This means that my clients have their own standards for what is deemed mentally, emotionally and physically healthy; the ultimate goal being to live as happily and authentically as possible. My hope is that you're willing to share your ideas of what a satisfying and authentic life looks like to you. Yes, people tend to grow through pain and discomfort, but this doesn't have to be lonely or excruciating. I'm here to walk your path with you and help be the light to guide you through. You can expect some humor to bring a bit of levity and fun to the journey, too.

I specialize in gender identity, sexuality and sexual dysfunction, psychosis (paranoia, hallucinations, derealization, etc.
As a therapist, I am interested in the words that people use to describe their experience — the words that have taken hold of us and told how us to feel, how to think, and so on. I am also interested in the themes that have emerged in someone’s life, the little mistakes they make and don’t understand, and their dreams (or nightmares).

Therapy is about gathering and understanding the pieces of your story. The themes of our story, the characters we've encountered, the obstacles we've faced, and the meaning we've made from our experiences, these are all complex things. It's my job (and joy!) to sort through these pieces and provide a new lens in order to challenge you, push you, and help you grow into the most healthy, authentic version of you. I love helping people understand themselves better and find courage to connect more with those around them.

Parenthood is seldom what we expect it to be and can often be intertwined with immense feelings of grief, resentment, and overwhelm.

There are times when our life, or the lives of family members are no longer as enjoyable as planned. Sadness, arguments, anxiety, and substance use often occur when we experience ourselves going into a direction we don't like. During these challenges, the core of disagreements may simply be a different viewpoint on how a person should live and think. When your challenges become chronic, despite efforts to change, its time to involve professionals. When your way of thinking/behaving no longer progress you towards your goals....it may be time to make the call you frequently thought of making.

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
